MYRRHA Science Towards Sustainability Hamid Aït Abderrahim a pan-european Research Infrastructure Perspective of Implementation in Europe myrrha@sckcen.be

The Missions of MYRRHA Competitive Economy Energy Independence Sustainable Society

MYRRHA meets Belgian & European goals Research Directorate ERA European Research Area ESFRI European Strategic Forum Research Infrastructure Competitive Independent - Sustainable Directorate General Energy SET-Plan Strategic Energy Technology - Plan SNE-TP Sustainable Nuclear Energy - Technology Platform

STS model SCIENCE CREATION PUBLIC RESEARCH ORGANIZATION TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER SHARED KNOWLEDGE SERVICES UTILIZATION

Europe is pushing cluster development as the way to economical development Several regional clusters in Europe are strong sources of High-Tech economical activity (cf. INNOVA) Clusters are expanding around themselves and collaborate together to form networks of clusters

MYRRHA enhances SCK CEN European Networking USA Japan MYRRHA: a European project, realised together with European centres of expertise and European industrial partners

A legacy of first of a kind projects 1956 BR1 1st Belgian Reactor 4 MW Graph.Air 1962 BR2 Highest Flux material reactor in Europe 1963 Inventor of MIMAS MOX 1980 World 1st underground lab for high level waste disposal 2020 World Premiere project for transmutation of nuclear Waste MYRRHA BR2

A successor to BR2 1962 BR2 - Highest Flux material reactor in Europe 2020 World Premiere project for transmutation of nuclear Waste

MYRRHA a fast spectrum testing facility 1962 BR2 Fast Neutron Material Testing Reactor (fission) Fuel testing For LWR & GEN II/GEN III Irradiation Services: - Medical RI - Silicium doping - Others 2020 MYRRHA Very Fast Neutron Material Testing Reactor (fission + fusion) ADS-Demo + P&T testing (Partitioning & Transmutation) Fuel testing For GEN IV Irradiation Services: - Medical RI - Silicium doping - Others LFR GEN IV Technology demonstration

Towards a knowledge-driven economy Creation Transfer Utilization

MYRRHA STS goals and how they fit with cluster development Science Technology Services Reactor physics Material and fuel science High energy particle physics Life sciences Radioprotection Advanced: energy concepts nuclear fuels and waste solutions (decommissioning) medical applications materials and processes sensors, spectroscopy, imaging systems Irradiation services Radio-Isotopes NTD-Silicon other industrial apps Proton beam use Training & Consultancy

When the goals of SCK.CEN and those of de Kempen meet Regional Development Regional pact: Kempen Duurzaam MYRRHA Science towards Sustainability Cluster mgt Technology Park High Tech Cluster Connection to other clusters and regios (ELAt,...) Advanced... energy concepts solutions for nuclear fuel and waste medical applications materials and processes sensors, spectroscopy, imaging systems Research R&D program management and valorisation Open innovation
